@Slamule I always though Mike Clarke's career suffered from bad recording. For some reason Herbie's later albums really sounded awful in comparison to this, not sure why, maybe they used a different producer.

#np "Head Hunters" Herbie Hancock

Let's hear it for Paul Jackson, he's been left out of all the hyperbole here, mainly by me. His bass playing here is white hot perfection.

@Byroncoley Well, if it isn't the illustrious BC, the heralded champion of Half Japanese and one of the leading musicologists of our times. Funny, meeting you here.

@Hastiin78 I love Sextant and Crossings, too. On Headhunters, both Sly and Chameleon start smooth and "commercial" sounding, but morph into a new language as the pieces develop. Harvey Mason's inventive drumming really makes it happen. Live versions on YT of Sly with Mike Clark are ok, but they don't even bother to attempt the mid-section played the way it's done here. HH may not scream "experimental" or "far-out," but both of these tracks keep climbing higher until they break the sound barrier

I have been "inhaling and absorbing" this music since I was 13! Sure nice to hear it again. It touches the heart. Top musicianship!
